I was actually wearing a raggedy nightshirt and a pair of sweats
that wouldn't stay up, which (given the temperature) I consider to
be enough of a sacrifice to the gods of winter.  They had to know I
was sincere.  

The Albany NPR station has a weather guy who drives a lot of people
nuts because he's incredibly detailed.  Before he tells you what
your weather is gonna be, he gives you the Big Picture, complete
with major trends across the continent and what they might add up to
for us.  The result is that when we're gonna have a big'un, he's
usually there saying "could happen" five or six days in advance,
which I like.  Anyway, he's been saying "could happen" about this
coming weekend since Monday morning.  So we shall see.
